@Christian Ristits: Die Scheibe ist mit einer Mischung aus Tamiya X-25 clear green und Future, verdünnt mit Tamiya (X-20A) mit dem Pinsel lackiert.

The anhedral on your horizontal stabs are off by +0.0046 degrees. (Maybe you didn't have enough rivets. You DID count them, didn't you?) I get real sarcastic when I see flawless builds. It makes me feel small and inadequate! Seriously - a VERY nice build. Congrats on your hard work.
15 August 2014, 06:28
Christian Ristits
Thank you Klaus! For me your build is one of the most faszinating builds I have ever seen on scalemates, also the photos are realy well done! It makes my actual F-4 very very small 😉 Thank you for the tip, I will try to get some X-25...as Revell do not provide a clear green in aqua color. Cheers, Christian

Awesome display, I love the F4 Phantom! During the Vietnam campaign my dad was crew chief of a Squadron of F4 C/D stationed in Europe for his time in the Air Force. Great work looks amazing!

Congratulations Klaus on an great build and display. Nice match to the photo of the real thing. 👍 I especially like the head on shot. Everything - canopies, wings, landing gear - perfectly in line. The ladder and crew and tarmac make a nice little scene. Very realistic.

Is this setting a record?? No doubt Klaus deserves it! I showed the pix to my son and he couldn't believe it was a model!

Soeren R.
Looks really good 🙂 Like it a lot!

KlausH
Thank you very much für all the kind words mates! I'm really happy, that you enjoy the Phantom so much!
I just added a few building pics to the album. May be interesting too (I hope so..😉 ).

Todd Payne
Wow. Amazing work. It looks like you used decal mask on the upper fuselage to protect it from overspray. I didn't know you could even do that! great tip 🙂

Phil Marchese
Remarkable fedility!
3 September 2014, 16:13
KlausH
Thank you!
@Todd: The green stuff is MrMasking Sol R by Gunze, the borderline is masked with 0.4mm masking tape by Aizu. Thats a really nice working combination. You can protect a large area without much work. I first tried it on this project, and it worked very well.

My favourite F-4E. Can't get enough of her. 🙂

good work !!
how many days to apply the stencils ??
there must be about a thousand of them !!
13 October 2014, 00:06
Jermaine Hoskin
Looking at this again, I'm like damn the decal sessions must have been epic!
13 October 2014, 00:30
Choppa Nutta
I think there is more decals here than I have applied in my life !!!
not to mention the difficulty of keeping track of what went where, epic aint the word 🙂
I'll revise my earlier question, how many weeks ???

KlausH
Thank you all! 🙂

And a special thank to Erik!!! He gave me this wonderful kit and brought me to the 57th FIS Version! Thanks my friend, you know, how much I like this bird!

It took about 4 weeks to aply the stencils, but I´m surely not the fastest modeler.😉 All in all there are about 700 decals on the Phantom (within the sparrow markings).

Soeren R.
700 decals?? WTF?..... Ok thats A lot....
13 October 2014, 08:24
KlausH
@Soeren. The ICARUS Stencils are very easy to aply, they needed only a few seconds in the water and worked very fine with Mr. Mark Softer. I recommend this decal set, but I must admit: I don´t want to do this work on every model.

@Erik: A 57th F-102 is on the top of my wishlist. And I still have enough ADC grey to paint a Dagger. 🙂 But I'm not a fan of raised panel lines, even though this seem to be a very nice kit. I would prefer a 1/48-Version of the Meng kit. I still hope...😉

13 October 2014, 10:46
Soeren R.
Hehe 🙂 Yeah that is something I can understand. Luckily my WWII models doesn't have this amount of decals. 🙂
13 October 2014, 11:01
Erik Apunkt
I'd greatly appreciate if MENG released both a Case X and XX Deuce in quartescale. 👍

That said, and having spent endless hours in rescribing one of the venerable Monogram kits in my stash would have been a vain endeavour, though. I've got both the Encore kit and the decal sheet in my stash, and I place any bet, once I'll have started to tackle this project, MENG will be just about to release one.😉
13 October 2014, 11:08
KlausH
Please would you start this project, Erik? That may be my chance to get the 1/48 Meng.😉😉
13 October 2014, 11:30
Choppa Nutta
700 decals and 4 weeks !!!!?? WTF?..... Ok thats A Far King lot....
does anyone do the stencils as complete panels ?
ie here is one decal to do a whole wing and another for the under side etc. etc.

What a result mate. !!! Just beautiful and, the head on photo speaks volumes. There was something about the Phantom and this image says it all. I now have it as my screen saver image. THANKS. !!!
13 October 2014, 12:51
KlausH
Thank you mates! 🙂

@Erik: Einen Versuch war´s wert.😉
13 October 2014, 14:46
Erik Apunkt
Ich fürchte eher, dass wir da noch 'ne ganze Weile warten können, bis sich bei MENG jemand unserer erbarmt. Aber Deine F-4 ist eigentlich schon Inspiration genug, dass ich bald mit meiner Deuce loslege.

Irgendwie bin ich verflucht: Ich schaffe es einfach nicht, die paar neuen Modelle, die hier zu über 90% fertiggestellt sind auch abzuschließen. Is wie vernagelt...😉
13 October 2014, 14:54

DAs kommt mir bekannt vor, wenn ich mich grad so umschaue...😉

Da bin ich aber beruhigt!😉

may i ask how you did the dials in the cockpit? are those decals? if those are decals, which ones? i am working on a F-4J and those dials look better anything i have seen. and certainly are not part of the aires sets
5 August 2016, 23:22
Scott Hastings
Oh wow this is great. Thanks for the WIP photos as well
6 August 2016, 00:22
KlausH
Thank you! 🙂
Spanjaard I actaully used the Aires film and PE parts for the dials, painted on back with some different colours. I added some pics to the album, please take a look. 🙂
6 August 2016, 03:42
Spanjaard
thanks a million Klaus..... somehow i forgot that the film was there! fortunately it is not lost so i will try to use it in the same way. 🙂 . thanks a lot for the pictures. if I can get half of what you managed to do, i will be really happy about my phantom 🙂
6 August 2016, 08:18
